Governing bodies of General and Limited Partnerships The subject of my thesis is to analyse process of acting on behalf of a corporation and to depict specific bodies which take part in this essential process, their competency, powers and also their responsibility. The reason for my research is based on fact that not a single corporation stands alone in this world which makes interactions with other corporations, customers and state authorities not only inevitable but more importantly necessary for a corporation to survive in business world. Just to clarify the subject of this thesis does not include process during which bodies of a corporation form will to act based on internal proposals and opinions but it concentrates solely on the acting itself. The thesis is composed of two complex chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of acting on behalf of a corporation. Chapter One is not only introductory even though it defines basic terminology used in the thesis but it also analyzes common elements of governing bodies. Chapter Two focuses on the governing bodies themselves and it divides the subject matter into five parts each with its own focus. Among these five part the basic description of each of two corporations is provided as well as concept of each governing body, its creation and...

In search of an equivocal country
Axmannová, Eliška ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Jamek, Václav (referee)
The present diploma thesis called In search of an equivocal country is devoted to the life and work of Victor-Lévy Beaulieu, a French Canadian (Quebecois) novelist. Beaulieu is an exceptional figure on the contemporary literary scene, especially because of his large scale project that he has been patiently pursuing for almost fifty years - the quest for a Quebecois epic and a hero that could save the nation from its loss of cultural identity. It is the 1978 trilogy Monsieur Melville that stands at the heart of the thesis. The eight hundred pages mosaic divided in three volumes might be mistaken for a simple biography of Herman Melville or for a critical analysis of his work. Nevertheless, it's to the art of literature that the text is devoted. Abel, writer and Beaulieu's alter-ego, is the narrator, while Melville assumes the role of an acolyte. Together, they undertake a voyage across New England and neighbouring waters in order for Abel to find strength enough to write the ultimate Book for Quebec. The thesis is made up by three main parts. Following a short introductory chapter concerned with Beaulieu's life and work and with his relation to the American literature, the focus is put on formal aspects of the trilogy. The first part of the thesis is called Monsieur Melville and postmodern inspiration and...

Aspect of sin and blame in the prose of Miguel de Unamuno
Smékal, Karel ; Fousek, Michal (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to define and analyse the aspects of sin and blame in Unamuno's prosaic work. After brief introduction to Unamuno's intellectual system and the definition of concepts of sin and blame emphasis is put on Unamuno's theoretical demarcation of sin and blame in his essayistic work. From this theoretical basis results the classification of these aspects in each belletristic work, whereas there is an effort to comment all possible interpretation of these concepts in each work. The analysis of these novels from the point of view of classification of sin and blame focuses on new possible interpretation and connection in Unamuno's system, which has been till now rather neglected and brings therefore a new point of view on some of it's aspects.

Nedvěd, Jiří ; Nálevka, Vladimír (referee) ; Kvaček, Robert (advisor)
This thesis deals with the Czechoslovak volunteers of the International Brigades during the Spanish civil war 1936-1939. The maj or aim of the paper is to work up this topic wi thout the ideological obj ecti ves, which were until recently qui te common in the Czech (or Czechoslovak) writing about the volunteers. It is specially focused on those aspects, which were in the communist historiography the most distorted ones (e.g. the attitude of Soviet Union and the international communism to the Spanish war, the role of KSČ etc.). Therefore it is based primarily on the foreign scientific literature and the archive research. The first two chapters briefly discuss the history of the Spanish civil war and its international context as a necesarry background for the following analysis of the International Brigades. The former is concentrated on the inner (IISpanish") roots of the conflict and its development, more closely on the relations between the leading forces within the loyalist zone and on the dual role of Spanish communists. The latter then treats the international aspects of the civil war, which were of the main importance for its conclusion. It shows different attitudes of the major world Powers, both the intervention of the fascist dictatorships on the Francoist side and the nonintervention concept of the...

My intention to devote oneself to write about prosaic writing by Ljudmila Ulickaja arose, when I wrote her fiction Meoea u ee oemu.

Sustainability Analysis of Small and Medium Enterprises
Vojtěšek, Cyril ; Basl, Josef (advisor) ; Gála, Libor (referee)
The Diploma thesis analyzes the attitude of small and medium Czech enterprises towards the Green IT and sustainability concept. Several practices such as consolidation and virtualization of servers, desktop virtualization, cloud computing, energy management, dematerialization and recycling are discussed with regards to their contribution to global sustainability. The common denominator of most of the Green IT practices is the energy consumption reduction. The increasing information technology's demand for energy is viewed as a major contributor to the global carbon footprint and Green IT practices are assessed in terms of how much energy can be saved by incorporating them in a company policy. Besides energy consumption material aspects are another significant part of Green IT. Both the toxicity of certain materials used in the manufacturing process and the increased need for proper recycling of electronic waste are discussed in respective chapters. Information technology does not only add to the global carbon footprint, but it can also provide means to reduce the emissions of other sectors. Companies can reduce their energy consumption by improving logistics (smart logistics) or buildings (smart buildings) efficiency. Teleworking is another practice which enables millions of people work outside their office and contributes to global sustainability. The analytical part presents a survey of Czech small and medium enterprises and their attitude to Green IT. The main objective of the survey is to find out how many companies have implemented Green IT into their company policy. Company representatives report on which Green IT practices they have adopted and why. Responses are analyzed and findings and conclusions are presented.

Visual conception of a film adaptation of the novel A FALL OF MOONDUST by Arthur C. Clark. The science fiction genre and its visual adaptation in examples from world cinematography.
Bouška, Petr ; Nekvasil, Ondřej (advisor) ; Masník, Boris (referee)
The science fiction genre has been popular in filmmaking since it first appeared. It brings views of the world which do not exist. Film is an ideal medium to materialize these fantasy worlds. However, owing to its popularity, the contours of the genre are fading and the term itself is losing its original meaning. Under the heading of science fiction we can, therefore, come cross films which do bring fantastic views and visions, but which have very little to do with science as such. The aim of the theoretical part of this work has been to sift out those film titles which belong to the science fiction genre in the stricter sense of the term science-fiction, focusing on the narrow segment of sci-fi films either taking place in space, or which are marginally related to space. Since this work deals mainly with the visual aspect of sci-fi films, a number of selected titles have been used to introduce their visual appearance. The films have been selected based on my own preference, within the definition of the term science fiction. The outcome of the theoretical part served as one of the sources for the visuals in the practical part of the work. The practical part provides visual designs for a film adaptation of a novel by A.C. Clarke, A Fall of Moondust. It provides visual designs of scenes and set decorations which aim to stress scientific reliability of depiction and strive to place the film among pieces of high scientific accuracy. This work may serve the needs of filmmakers interested in a realization of this particular piece, or to those creators, whose task is to adapt a different piece of science-fiction. The latter filmmakers may make use of the references to a number of interesting and inspirational films in the theoretical part of this work.
